CANCELLED: The Power of Women as Consumers Learn more
Women represent the largest market opportunity in the world. Globally, they control US$20 trillion in annual consumer spending, and this number could rise to US$28 trillion in the next five years. Today’s marketplace is being transformed by the fact that globally 1 billion women participate in the workforce—this number will likely grow to 1.2 billion in the next five years. Women’s earned income is also rising, growing at 8.1 percent versus 5.8 percent for men. This has tremendous implications for women’s purchasing power.
